Woman at the Window 1905

"Woman at the Window," painted in 1905 by Henri Matisse, embodies the Fauvist movement with its bold, flat planes of color and simplified forms. The woman, dressed in vibrant red, sits in a similarly colorful interior, against a background of a seascape. The painting emphasizes the emotional and subjective experience of the viewer, capturing the essence of the scene through a striking use of color and form. Matisse's daring approach to color influenced the art world and revolutionized modern painting.
